Delta is attacking American’s fares to Tokyo. Will not last. This is a $150 price drop from Saturday. New to the attack is availability from Los Angeles.

Availability from:

• Miami [MIA]
• Dallas [DFW]
• Philadelphia [PHL]
• Phoenix [PHX]
• Los Angeles [LAX]
• Charlotte [CLT]
• St. Louis [STL]

We also think that the recent spat of cheap fares to Tokyo from Delta is because the DOT gave it a beat down for its irregular service to Tokyo – Haneda (HND) out of Seattle. These prices are mostly to Haneda.

Update 4/7/2015 @ 2:53PM Eastern – fare is now about $100 more. LAX is still in the mid-$600s, but with United.

Update 4/7/2015 @ 5:35PM Eastern – LAX is available again with Delta for under $670 and also with United. All other cities are about $770.

Update 4/8/2015 @ 1:26PM Eastern – fall gone

Update 4/8/2015 @ 2:10PM Eastern – fare back from all the cities listed above for about $670 except for Los Angeles. The fare is no longer available from Los Angeles.

Update 4/8/2015 @ 8:32PM Eastern – fare gone.
